Meet the Oteros!

We have a new Senior couple here with us in Peru Arequipa.  Their first assignment has been to support the wards and stakes in Tacna — which is on the Chilean border.  The Oteros have been fantastic as they have worked diligently with the members  to reactivate people and to prepare others to go to the temple.  We are so blessed to have them and they have already made a huge impact upon all they serve.  Our young missionaries absolutely love them and so do we.
